The Incremental backup is not copying the changed files, what may be happening?

maybe you need this

 

USE_CTIME_FOR_INCREMENTALS bp.conf entry for UNIX clients

The USE_CTIME_FOR_INCREMENTALS entry changes how NetBackup determines

whether or not a file has changed. This entry causes the client software to use

both modification time and inode change time during incremental backups to

determine if a file has changed. (mtime and ctime.)

 

 

 

USE_CTIME_FOR_INCREMENTALS

This entry should appear only once in the bp.conf file.

By default, NetBackup uses only mtime.

Note: If you specify USE_CTIME_FOR_INCREMENTALS, you must also specify

DO_NOT_RESET_FILE_ACCESS_TIME. Do not use these options if Storage Migrator

is on the system. Setting these options causes the file atime to be updated every time

they are backed up. When the atime updates, it appears as if the files are frequently

used and prevents Storage Migrator from selecting the files for migration.
